Nico Mannion was insane bro. I lived a minute away from his high school pinnacle and I use to go to his games every week and watch him dominate. Such a fun player to watch
I remember watching him in those high school highlights wayy before he was drafted. Such a skilled player and smiled when I found out he was drafted by the warriors.
I hope the best for him, I would love to see him developing more his game in Europe and getting better to return to the NBA to win everything like Manu
True but part of the dream is that NBA contract salary. Not saying at all that Euro leaguers don't make good money but they can't have the lifestyle most NBA players have
"some kind of a champion", bruh, you talk like he's playing amateur basketball. He plays in the Euroleague lmao, some former NBA players struggle to even get some minutes there.
I think he may have been a bit over hyped and over rated as far as being an NBA player. That doesn’t mean he is not a solid player. He may just be happier where he is. Everyone doesn’t want to sit the bench, even if it mean a good check.
@Humza Mohammad sure the Brad Wanamaker example, comes back for 2 seasons with the Celtics, then can’t stay on a roster and after 3.5 seasons is out if the NBA. There will always be some 19 year old to replace Nico.
He looked promising during his rookie year he didn’t put up crazy numbers, but he looked like he belonged in the mins he played! Hopefully he’s only in Italy another year, and plans on coming back to the league!!!
I remember when he got sick it’s very serious and doctors says if not treated could be life treating. Good thing he didn’t played basketball for awhile after the Olympics because I’d he did then he would pass out on the court or worst.
He didn't decide to go play in the serie A, he Simply asked the warriors to stop playing him in the g league because he wanted to play with curry and the others so that he could improve and if they didn't want they should have traded him or make him play for some italian team, so the warriors chose the last option
@@malikbrathwaite3708 bro just tryna develop how is that having a ego too many players get lost in the g-league who can have a decent impact the fastest way back into the league is to put up numbers overseas

'He immediately helped them win the Eurocup'.... Well his team won the Eurocup, but his help in 16 games was very limited: 2.1 points on 20% from the field.
Unfortunately, he didn't play much in Bologna, especially in Eurocup. Bologna has many good players in 1 and 2 positions like Teodosic, Belinelli, Pajola (he's going to play in the Summer League with the Mavs) and Hackett, so he didn't found much room. Hope he gets more minutes in another Italian team, he is a really good and fancy player
After few season in italy, he learn soo mutch who can play better in nba. Most of more valuable player have european imprinting, from play them or from them coach
Honestly I think Nico should come back to the NBA, cause he's not finding a lot of space in Virtus and his playstile seems to fit better with the American rules
He’ll never play in the NBA. I hate disrespecting young talent, but it’s straight facts. The kid never had the physicalness or the competitiveness to play nba ball.
You really cannot help but immediately feel bad for him, that is sad if you ask me ,imagine all your life working to make it to the NBA then boom just like that , wow hope bro figures it out forreal 💯he got my respect 🫡
He left school to early man. But hey in Italy Serie A he's playing at the appropriate level of pro ball and he can make A LOT of money 💰. But the N.B.A. right now....nah man.
@@kaih615 I meant his current Euro team not the olympics. The euro cup that he was referring to Nico had under 5 mpg. The most recent euro cup he had 12 min for 2.6 points on horrendous efficiency.
Nico is such a hooper, I remember he played against my high school team and was dunking everything and making everything but it all didn’t matter cause this one dude broke his ankles so bad 😭 but dude airballed 😭pinnacle vs central high school
Too much pressure I believe. These kids are still in high school and will have these greedy RUclips shows following him around all the time and hyping him up his whole life, thinking he was a lock for Top 5 pick. Him and Bol Bol are biggest examples. They accomplished nothing in college and still declare early, thinking they'd be a number 1 pick. Being drafted in the 2nd round was probably a reality check for them that they not as good as they thought. Hopefully Nico get better playing in Italy
I’m staying in Italy I’m sure he’s from there he’s probably treated very well out there . He gonna come back to the A to do what? Prob ride the bench or get little floor time keep doing your thing out there fam
I am Italian and he can’t play defense, in the finals on the Italian league he hasn’t played more than 3-4 minutes for games…. He is not ready for the NBA, and maybe he will never be.
U don't get a ring when ur not a part of the organization. They have his rights meaning if he wants to play in the NBA he can only sign with the warriors it does not mean he is actually a part of the team.
U have to be a member of the team the R they win. They have his rights if he decides to play in the NBA but he currently is not a part of the warriors organization therefore he does not get nor should he get a ring
Mmm, he played too few minutes to actually help Bologna win the EuroCup, and overall he has been limited by his bad physical condition all season long.

Was worried this was going to be a tragic story but it's a relief he was simply a champ in the euro league

EuroCup

Me too he dropped 30 on us😭😭
Same bro …it’s on RUclips as well 😤

Nah. I legit just assumed he was put on the G league team
I think he was for a while but he complained about that and warriors obviously weren’t putting him in the lineup so he asked to be shipped off
He’s a small guard and he didn’t shoot well as a rookie so it’s unfortunate but when ur smaller you need to produce right away
